Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 4:21 PM I've been listening to Loveline for about six years, so I'd say I'm a rather senior fan of the show. The odd thing is, since Drew and Adam are usually so candid, one of the reasons I like listening to them, I almost feel like I know them. Like, if I ran in to Adam at the Home Depot, I'd walk up to him and talk like we were old friends, even though he'd have no clue who the fuck I was. Does anyone feel this way? Like you've really gotten to know both guys even though you've never met them? —clodhopper |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 4:32 PM Well, we hear them talk about their lives for hours each day. I don't hear about my own life or those of my family or friends almost every day for six years...so you've built up some serious history. It's amazing to think that there are literally millions of people who share (to a varying degree) this familiarity with Adam & Drew. Think of that. If not millions, at least hundreds of thousands of people know these details of their lives. Now, that strange thing would be to try and IMAGINE what a mere mortal would have to talk about for 2 hours a night for 6+ years that would actually hold the interest of such a big audience. —yaKindaSorta |

Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 7:39 PM I think that if I were to walk up to Adam at Home Depot and talk to him, he'd exchange a polite sentence or two, and then want to get back to his business. He'd end up wishing I hadn't wasted his time, and I'd be disappointed that he wasn't funny, like on the radio. Drew, on the other hand -- if he ever stepped foot in a Home Depot -- would probably appreciate any ego boost I threw his way. Then he'd want to get away from me quickly when I started getting into how his psychic powers about guests aren't nearly as good as he thinks they are. —Tom |

Monday, August 4, 2003 at 12:23 AM If you actually met Adam in a Home Depot and didn't want him to just brush you off, try and start a friendly conversation. Pretend like you don't know who the hell he is and that you don't give a rip about Loveline or any other damn radio show. Then, ask him how feels about coffee stirrers. But seriously, I totally get what you're saying, about this feeling of familiarity. It's one of the hallmarks of a great radio host. Or in this case, radio hosts. —Ace Rockola |

Monday, August 4, 2003 at 2:04 AM I understand what you are describing and I feel the relationship with them myself. But we have not interacted with them, we have only listened to them. It would be a very different experience meeting up with them at Home Depot if we had actually hung out with them for six years. We do not have a mutual relationship because Drew and Adam do not know anything about us. We like them but we do not have an experience of them accepting and enjoying us. These are the feelings that hook people into sending money to TV evangelists. People get emotionally attached to the people on the radio or TV. Anyway this may seem like a big DUH but I think it is interesting to realize the difference between what we feel and the reality of the circumstances. —Art |
